Balloons In High Attitudes.

The recent attempt made by some
French aeronauts to reach great height
above the earth has not been productive
of any particular scientific results. The
balloon in which the ascent was made
reached an altitude Of over 10000 feet
without the occupants Of the car ex-
periencing any i'll effects, except ten
dency to faintness on the part Of one Of
them. When about twelve years ago a
similar attempt was made, and the height
Of $4,000 feet was reached, il was with
fatal results 10 three out Of the four aero
nauts. The success Of the present ex-
pertinent is explained by the allegation
that the difficulties due TO the rarefac-
ton Of the atmosphere only begin at an
altitude Of $4,000 or $4,000 feet This
view seems supported by the fact that in
the Himalayas and the Andes heights of
about 10000 feet have been on several
occasions reached without any mcon-
venience. In such cases. however, the
ascent has always been gradual. The i'll
effects experienced in balloons are pos
gibly due TO the suddenness Of the change,

posed by a coil taking up considerable

use as yet: the use of alternating cur
rents offers a solution TO the problem. A
large electro magnet Of great self induc-

measured. 1t being desired TO cook
flapjacks, an iron spider is placed over
the poles of the electro magnet. The

THE RAILWAY BRAIN"
A Case Much Resembling RAILWAY
spine"-Question for Neurologists.

A Case Much Resembling Railway
spins''-Question for Neurologists.
At recent meeting Of the Society OF
Physicians Of the { harite hospital in Ber-
lin, Thomson exhibited a patient whose
case he described as one Of railway
BRAIN" neurosis resembling in many
respects the condition already well known
under the name of railway spine. A
healthy railway employe. aged 30, with
out history of alcoholism or of any pre-
disposing neurotic condition, by the sud-
den motion of his train was thrown yio-
leutly against the side of car, striking
his head. He sustained no wound, and
at the time of injury consciousness was
preserved. Some hours afterward, how
ever, he was suddenly seized with syncope,
with mental terror, lost all sense of loca-
ton, could not recognize the simplest
familiar object, and described what he
saw enormously; his one objective symp-
tom was absolute anesthesia Of the entire
body. On the fourth day after his injury
he had violent headaches. pulse rate OF
A. and, In addition to the cutaneous anas-
thesia, los. Of olfactory and taste sensa-
tions, with difficult hearing. On the fifth
day the psychic symptoms suddenly
ceased. he could remember nothing which
had happened, and had no explanation
for his condition.
The patient subsequently became very
melancholy, complaining Of insomnia,
headache, spinal pain, WEAKNESS and
failure Of appetite; no sensations Of terror
or disordered dreams were present. The
objective symptoms remaining were well
marked cranial and spinal hyperPsthesia;
failure to distinguish between white and
colors: loss of smell and taste and i'm
paired hearing; numbness and ut times
paresis and spasms of the region sup
piled by the facial nerve were also pres
ent. He was discharged from the hos
pital as improved, but two months after
ward his condition was unchanged; he
was unable to work on account uf head
ache and weakness ThomSen's diagnosis
was railway brain, condition Of pro-
found disturbance Of cerebral functions
from shock.
The increase in mechanical appliances

afford abundant opportunities for obscr-
walton Of nervous shock. both in its fatal
and milder forms. While pOstmortem
demonstration Of hemorrhage and struc-
tural LESSONS explains the course Of these
cases when fatal, il is evident that we
must rely upon the continued observation
Of surviving patients to determine the
development Of LESSONS which will illus
trate the pathology of this condition.
The possibility Of the production of de-
generative changes in nervous matter
and cerebral conditions causing perma-
nent mental impairment is an interesting
question for neurologists, and. in its
medico-legal aspects. for the corporation
whose property may cause such injuries
to their patrons and employes.-Medical

GOLD LEAF SIGNS.
How the Secret of Making Gold Leaf
stick to the Glass Was Discovered.


How the Secret of Making Gold Leaf
stick to the Glass Was Discovered.
"The reason that so many gold leaf
signs on glass rub off, said painter as
he paused in putting some gold leaf on n
sign. lis that people don't pay enough
for the work. If you look at the gold
leaf above the door of the Merchants
National bank you will find il as good as
when il was put on in 1873. The best
signs are those in the railroad windows in
Broadway. They were done 10y George
II. Mccarthy, the most expert man in
the business. Those signs done right
along, without waiting for each portion
TO thoroughly dry and harden, are al
ways poorly done"
How is the work done on glass;"
The glass is first moistened with a
size made of isinglass dissolved in hot
water. The gold leaf sticks To that. Let
tiers are then perfectly formed on the
back of the gold in varnish. When the
varnish is dry we wipe off the gold with
a piece Of wet cotton. Then il is shaded,
and then vanished again 10 preserve it,.
Good work. which people get when they
pay for it, allows full time for each of
these processes.
"ls there any secret about the size Of
isinglass:'
There isn't now, 1t used TO he a
very close secret. II was brought here
in 1850 by an EnGlishnan named Hale.
He used 70 do up the signs in a style
that American painters couldn't touch.
They tried their best TO discover the
secret of the size he used. hut couldn't
catch him. Other Englishmen came
over. and they had all the good
gold leaf business to themselves.

BEN A, AyRES,

Mem .,his Appeal, Sept.6 On last Thursday
the Appeal announced to his fellow CONNER
cial travellers the serious illness of Ben Ayres,
who was then IN critical condition at Aber-
deem, Miss. Since then there have been
frequent inquiries as to his condition. The
firm for which he travelled, G. r. Ryan Co.,
were most attentive in their inquiries and
readiness to be Of any possible service. They
were assured by watchful and devoted friends
OF MI. Ayres, at Aberdeen, that nothing was
being left undone to alleviate his sufferings
and forward his recovery, which was so
devoutly hoped tor. Late yesterday afternoon
his firm received dispatch stating that Mr..
Ayres was sinking rapidly, and all hopes for
his recovery were abandoned. A few hours
later came the sad confirmation of the pre-
ceeding telegram, "Ben Ayres is dead" He
had been connected with the wholesale grc-
Gerry house of G. r. Ryan d Co., for years. No
young man in Memphis was better known or
more. highly esteemed. With an urbanity OF
manner which bespoke the thorough gentle-
man, he made friends on sight, and his open
hearted generosity and strict integrity in
public and private, bound them TO him
indissolubly, He was we'll known throughout
Mississippi, and the announcement Of his
death will be read with regret in every town
in the State. The following telegram to the
Appeal from Mr.. j. W. buchanan, editor of
the Grenada SENTINEL, attests the esteem he
was held in at his native home:
"Our community this evening received the
news Of the death of B. A. Ayres, who died
to-day at Aberdeen, with general regret as he
was raised in this community and everybody
knew and liked him for his many high traits
Of character, warm and generous svmpathies.
He has been with G. r. Ryan & Co., since q
youth, and made his travelling business q
success. He will be inferred here in the fam
lily burying ground Tomorrow"
